Im in an interesting situation currently, was wondering if anyone could relate or have any insight. In the past 10 years I have almost never been able to resist the temptation to look at p when i had access. B"H for my first time ever, I am two months clean (with one slip up in the middle) of p, and I have been strong in situations that i have fallen in the past. The issue I am having now, though, is that my struggle with m is still very prevalent. Right now it is a daily struggle. I am not married yet, but to the best of my knowledge, it is less problematic to enter the world of shidduchim while struggling with m than it is with p. Being that i feel less urgency regarding this issue, i am having a much harder time overcoming it. 
Any advice is very appreciated

Shalom Brother,

Yaasher Koach on you strides in not looking at p. That is incredible strength to resist even when you had access.

Without getting into a comparison of m vs p, behaviors of lust and self-pleasure would be a challenge in marriage that it would behoove you to work on now and not push it off.

Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

I can only concur with these wise words. 

Getting rid of lust will help you in the future to have a true LOVE relationship and not a lust relationship. 
The love relationship is awesome, the lust one, not so much 
I didn't believe I could be clean
Until I actually got clean.
If I can do it, you can too!
